I mostly like Doctor Who for being a fun, campy show. I stopped watching after Capaldi initially because it felt like the show wasn't really doing that anymore. I've been re-watching the modern show after checking out classic Who for the first time along with family recently. We recently got back up to where I had stopped and... I'm still not really feeling it. But the show has been on for quite a while since then. So I'm kind of curious what it's like now and if it's worth pushing through/skipping ahead to get to a part that I'll like more.

After Disney Who finished, I re-watched all of Modern Who. I tried my best to watch each episode with an open mind and an open heart. Series 11 still lands in the bottom third for me, but I was surprised to find that now I rank Series 12 and 13 among the best. Makes me sad that I didn't give it a fair shake in the original run. YMMV.

Doubt I'll ever change my opinion on Disney Who itself, though. What a disaster. I wanted to love it so much. Disney ruins everything.
